WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday named the lawmakers who will serve as managers in the Senate impeachment trial against President Donald Trump.
The House is set to vote Wednesday afternoon on a resolution to formally appoint managers, appropriating funds for the trial and, where opening arguments are expected Tuesday in only the third impeachment trial of a president in history. The articles accuse Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
But Pelosi highlighted the amount of new information that has come out since last month when the House passed articles, including, a Ukraine-born associate of Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. Trump and congressional Republicans argued he had the authority to set foreign policy and was justified in fighting corruption in Ukraine. Trump has said he expects to be exonerated at the trial.
Trump has called at various times for the Senate to either dismiss the charges before the arguments or hold a full trial with witnesses. But McConnell said"there is little to no sentiment" among Senate Republicans to simply dismiss the charges.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., urged testimony from four witnesses, including Bolton and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. But Democrats need at least four Republicans to join them, to reach a majority of 51 senators, to approve subpoenas.

We must pay attention to the political result of this action. It will determine the before and the present. To wait
So when to they start the investigation into former VEEP Biden for threatening to withhold federal funds unless they fire the AG investigating his son Hunter...”I told them you got six hours, they fired the SOB”... and it really happened, we have the admission on video. 🤔
Get it over mcconnell don’t be a coward as usual!
Yeah, we all know Schiff doesn't jump to conclusions. Remember when he saw many examples of crimes committed by Trump during the Russian hoax, then for some reason talked to the Whistle Blower before this entire impeachment thing?
Tabloïd ?
Should’ve picked Sean Patrick Maloney.
SHIFTY SCHIFF...now THAT is FUNNY! LOL
